The above Jing video podcast introduces 5th grade students to a 5th Grade Collaborative Problem Solving Project which is currently housed on the ELO Moodle. This link has been temporarily placed here to be conveniently accessed.
This file is a link to a "Patterns in Literature" activity for all FHSD 5th grade GT classes. It is a

associated with this unit.
2. Social Studies: Structures in Government in North America
This final site has some great supplemental activities-- "Let's get Small" would be relevant to ratios, proportions, or
measurement in math though it's best done outside. http://www.microbeworld.org/resources/experiment.aspx
Geocaching Interdisciplinary Unit~ This rough draft activity connects math with Science and Social Studies in the classroom, if desired. It uses mobile technologies and serves as a culminating activity.
